Abstract

Chemical reactors are the center of the all chemical process industries, since they allow the transformation of the raw materials to products with high added value. This equipment defines the whole process, since the preparation process of raw materials depends on the reaction conditions as well as the effluents of the reactor determine the separation strategy and the difficulty to get the desired products with the adequate purity.
